      I started with a very ambitious idea to analyze the balance and shift between government and governance in landscape and spatial development. By using 9 key principles for development, I looked into how government and governance approaches for landscapes can be put to best use by comparing cases in Europe and Africa. l also studied and compared the shift between developed countries (Western World-Spain) with an approach for the developing countries (specifically Ghana). These landscape and spatial developments have many different aspects to study related to the planning process, especially because of the many different people involved and power positions taken. An "Overarching framework" was designed and this could be illustrative for projects and societal spatial developments. Show less

      Discussions on fires is mostly about how much is burned. But we have looked at a broader perspective. By using Sentinel, MODIS products and remote sensing techniques, we investigates relationships between fire regimes, seasonality, climate variables, distances, and land use. We did this for nature reserves in West Africa and Asia. In addition to that, we found a way to bridge the gap between the science, practice and social innovations for fire management options.
